Hailing from the port of Fremantle the Lost Quays is an eight-piece shanty band who perform Shanties and Sea Songs from the past and the present with energy and humour. Our repertoire includes many of the standards of the shanty world, plus a number of originals focussing on stories of the shipwrecks and daring sailors around the coast of Western Australia and beyond. Formed in 2015, the group toured the UK and Europe in 2018 and performed at the Australian Wooden Boats Festival and the National Folk Festival last year. We also run a monthly “Shanty Club” at Clancy’s in Fremantle, where we perform and teach shanties and provide an opportunity for the audience to unleash their inner “Shantyman”. Come and see us and join in the fun of singing these songs and learning more of the fascinating nautical history of WA.
